Sawant said since he took over as the chief minister (in 2019), 270 applicants have been given government jobs, while 90 are remaining. “The chief ministers before me had given jobs to 150-200 children of freedom fighters,” he said.
Sawant said all departments have been asked to provide data on vacancies under the freedom fighters category in their respective offices. He said these vacancies would be filled directly, without routing them through Staff Selection Commission.
